Cricket Information
The Benson and Hedges Cup
 A Brief History Of The Benson and Hedges Cup The Competition started in 1972, Twenty teams were organised into four zonal groups; the (then) seventeen first-class counties were joined by three other teams, Minor Counties (North), Minor Counties (South) and Cambridge University (who were to alternate annually with Oxford University). In each group matches (the five teams playing each other once) the winners were awarded three points plus a bonus point if their opponents were all out. In 1976 The groupings were now no longer based on geographical considerations and the Minor Counties' two teams were divided into East and West instead of North and South. Scotland entered the competition in 1980 the Minor Counties being reduced to just one team. In 1992 Durham joined the competition having become a first class county, Ireland joined in 1994 and competition reverted to a straight knock out. 1995 and the Benson and Hedges Cup went back to the group stages, the competition was ended in 2002 when the law was changed to prevent tobacco advertising on sporting events, its replacement in the cricketing calendar went to the Twenty 20 Cup. |
